Our fleet gathered at the Berney Arms on Friday 10th May with a forecast of variable easterlies, mainly force 3 with showers. As James and the support crew gave the briefing, we had hoped the sun might just make an appearance for the passage to Southwold. It was however the rain that made an appearance and stayed with us just about all the way to Southwold.
By the time we reached Lowestoft the wind was from the south east and was picking up something close to a metre of swell although it didn’t last for long. By the time we had passed the East Barnard, the swell was insignificant. The fleet did really well in Southwold, turning at the Harbour moorings to stem the tide.
Then it was a couple of days of relaxation, socializing & shopping for the fleet. The sun came out and stayed out even if the easterly breeze was slightly chilling.
On Sunday afternoon we departed for Lowestoft and a night in the RN&SYC who kindly prepared a carvery meal for our hungry crews.
We departed in the morning for Great Yarmouth and enjoyed another pleasant run up the coast in the sunshine.
Just our two pennyworth – joining in with grateful thanks to James, Mark, Rob, Chris and the invaluable Lou. As always – we had a great time.
May we also extend our thanks to all the other Cruise club ‘pals’. We hope to see you next time.

I must thank all of the team for making the trip so enjoyable.
Many thanks to James for all his good advice, Speedo for tying our lines and connecting the mains cable, Chris for setting up the radio, Rib Rob for his part in guiding us into port, Louise for booking etc, Shaun, Tony and boys for preparing the boat.

Thank you James for another great cruise. Although we have all been under par we have really enjoyed it. Thanks Speedo for your help sorting the morse. See you next month when we crew for Mystique.
Thank you again James, Mark, Rob and Chris – so well organised and we and the dog had a fabulous time. Hope to see our new found friends again soon. Now we need to wash it ??? ?
